Bristol Birders,

My Dad and I (Ed Talbott Jr. and III) along with Richard Kretz birded the
logging road from Laurel Bed Lake to Mutter's Gap in Russell County on
Saturday.  The weather was overcast but it did not rain and the hike was
around 7 miles at about 3,800 feet in elevation.  We found four Least
Flycatchers and six Magnolia Warblers during the hike.  The biggest
surprise of the day was the birds we did not find - we birded for almost 10
hours and did not see or hear a single Carolina Chickadee, Tufted Titmouse,
Mourning Dove, European Starling, Northern Cardinal, or Downy Woodpecker.
I'll probably never do that again in SW Virginia.  For those interested
here is a link to a couple pictures and a trip report for the VSO.
